Are you a Ubuntuholic? do you spend way to much time tweaking and modifying
your system. are you losing sleep and staying on the computer more than you should? these are the signs you have a problem.The first step in conquering your problem is to admit you have one.So do you, are you a Ubuntuholic?
PS get some exercise.

I used to be, but then the novelty wore off. It's been over 5 years. I think after a certain amount of time you start to get a little bored.

I do, but it isn't because I'm fooling with Ubuntu (at least not ALL of thetime ;) ), it's because I don't have to fool around with Ubuntu so I spend too much time surfing the web or doing things because I'm NOT fooling around with Ubuntu.

Although last night it was because I was trying to get UbuntuOne uploaded from my desktop, and then getting it to download onto my laptop, but that's another matter. That's in part because it was 148 MB and I have a slow DSL connection!

I frequently download entire Debian repositories recursively just so I can port/mess with them.

I also defrag and run Bleachbit on my XFS filesystem daily, while running rolling release Fedora with the testing repository enabled, which naturally means that reinstalling once every month at least is required.

Oh, and I use my own FVWM configuration which I spent three hours cleaning and optimising to use as little memory as possible.

I'd rather read a system administration book than watch TV or a movie.

My name is Jordan, and I am a FOSSBSDLinuxGNUetcaoholic.

Well, I spent a lot of time buggering windows when I used that, so that doesn't really count... I mean I crashed my xp install several times.

As for the exercise, when I was buggering windows, I was employed as a full time athlete, and now, buggering Ubuntu, I am part of a sponsored vets team (as in old farts, not animal fiddlers...)

Oh, well... I just got my boss's PA to buy an Ubuntu pre-installed netbook for her daughter's birthday... It's all good...:D

Nope. The novelty of tweaking Linux has worn off a while ago.

I've tweaked my desktop to my liking and I am satisfied. Satisfied, at least, with the things I can tweak.

On occasion, I make one significant change based either on an update in the DE or in an update in my workflow. Otherwise, I've had essentially the same layout since about April 2009.

Actually I am Windowholic. Spending hours scanning for virus, defrag hard disk, clean registry, recover missing files, formating hard disk, reinstall software, update securities....etc. And Ubuntu cure me.

I still do that, every time I boot to Windows 7, since so much time passes between uses!

Nope, I'd rather spend more time using my OS than jerking around with it.

I suppose Ubuntu is one of my hobbies, though I never really tweak it much, just find new uses for it.
